Prep basketball round up: Lady Dawgs rally past Trojans

The Ionia girls basketball team scored 30 points in the second half Tuesday night to erase a 28-19 halftime deficit to earn a 49-41 victory over Thornapple-Kellogg.

"In the first half their physical play and aggressiveness got to us," Bulldog coach Andy Barr said. "In the second we did a better job handing their press and eventually got some easy baskets because of it.

"We got a nice all-around effort from everyone. Every player scored and gave good contributions."

Taylor Bovee led Ionia with 16 points, while Sarah Swartz finished with 14. Erika Ketchum scored six and Anna Riccius chipped in with five.

Ionia (2-1) will travel to DeWitt on Friday.
